— In the fight against Muslim, it was predictable. We all understood that there was a class difference. But the Chinese were an unavoidable competitor, and what happened is what happened. It is clear that the Muslim does not have enough muscle mass for this weight yet. I think his coaches will work on this. And then, I think, it will be the defense with Leon Hart. He is a German who is a mandatory contender. I think that we will most likely organize the next defense of the belt in the fall in Russia. Most likely, the fight will take place in October. We plan to hold the fight within the framework of the BRICS summit in Kazan, ”Kravtsov told .
